Hi folks 👋🏻 I'm going to take a Bluesky break for a minute. I've got this post-it note on my computer for a reason. And lately I kinda hate it here. So I'm logging off!
Post-it with "stop saying yes to shit you hate" written on it, taped to a computer keyboard

I think this is one reason I work so well on airplanes. That guy sitting RIGHT THERE can see that I've been playing a game on my phone for 2 hours instead of finishing this lit review!! (He doesn't care but that's not my business)

I think my automatic response would be to throw it out a window / throat punch someone who was wearing one

Definitely not until tomorrow, just to be safe (Idea for a message from editors: "the article you were asked to review has been raptured, your review is no longer required)

Had this exact thought this morning on my walk! What if I'm raptured and Maggie is just left there without a person on her walk??? (It didn't happen)
